By | October 28, 2016

A replica of the German dictator's bunker, where he spent his final days at the end of World War Two, has opened in central Berlin inside a former Nazi air raid shelter.

Hitler spent the last phase of WWII stuck inside a bunker, as recreated here in a Nazi-era air raid shelter in Berlin.

In 1959, communist East Germany removed the debris of Hitler's bunker - a notice is all that marks the spot now.
